A morning habit I’ve had for several weeks now is to put some songs on, then spend 5-10 minutes letting the music move my body as it wishes. (Typically this turns into some form of dancing.)
It’s a pretty effective way to get my energy / mood levels up quickly, can recommend.
It’s also easy to effectively timebox it if you’re busy, “I will dance for exactly two songs” serves as its own timer and is often all I have the energy for before I’ve had breakfast. (Today Spotify randomized Nightwish’s Moondance as the third song and boy I did NOT have the blood sugar for that, it sucked me in effectively enough that I did the first 30 seconds but then quickly stopped it after the pace slowed down and it momentarily released its grip on me.)
